The 12c church of St Mary, Bitton.

St Mary's, Bitton
This ancient village church can trace its beginnings back to 1086, with the Nave being the only stone structure. The tower was added in Edward III's reign in 1377, and of course there have been many later constructions, particularly by the Victorians. Among the famous who have 'graced' the church was Cromwell's army, who used the tower for canon practice! It remains to this day.
See Image] for a closer view of the tower.

Frere Almshouses
Bitton was blessed by the construction of almshouses in 1859. The five homes were for 'aged married couples or surviving spouses, who shall be members of the Church of England and resident in Bitton for five years.' Above the lintel is the inscription "Frere Ayme Frere" - referring to brotherly love. The front lawns are part allotments.
